This PC still not good enough.. (?)

[DoodlyDoo 0]

Hey guys,

so I just bought the whole Arma II package on Steam to play Day Z. Now.. I thought I had a decent PC, atleast decent enough to play Day Z smoothly.. These are the specs:

CPU: AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core Processor 3,10 GHz

RAM: 6GB Dual Channel

Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 SC 1024MB

However, I still can't play this game smoothly. Even when I put everything on low / disabled (expect for the 3D resolution, that must stay on 1920x1080, because I can't stare at a blurry screen).

I am willing to put some new gear into my computer. But do you guys have any tips/ideas what to change to play Day Z on "full high" settings with pure smoothness? Is it my video card that's maybe outdated? 6 RAM not enough? Should I overclock my CPU?

I would love to hear from you guys. I personally don't have fun playing a game if it doesn't all go smoothly and I think I am not the only one. :)

But seriously, get yourself a 600+ GTX card and turn off anti-aliasing.

You've got a decent mid range CPU & GPU, with those specs I'd expect you to handle well on even medium settings. I don't think that its your computer thats letting you down.

I wasn't aware that people where tensed about this subject. Ofcourse I have AA off, and that antiscropic sort of setting on disabled or low. But you could maybe answer the rest of my question? Is the rest of my setup good enough so they don't need a replacement.. ?

Hm... I am not using any background programs (only Steam) and it's not that my PC can't handle the game.. It's just that the looking around and walking part doesn't go smoothly..

First try set youre game resolution to 1600x900...then try this

Then set Quality preference: HIGH Terran detail: MEDIUM/HIGH Postprocess: DISABLE

Texture: HIGH Objects Detail: MEDIUM Vsync: DISABLE

Video memory: DEFAULT Shadow: MEDIUM/LOW

Antistopic Filtering: NORMAL HDR: HIGH/VERY HIGH

Antialiasing: NORMAL PPAA: LEAVE THIS UNTIL NOW

ATOC: LEAVE THIS UNTIL YOU GET YOURE DESIRED FPS

Always have the Interface resolution the SAME as 3D resulotion

Try this and report back

cheers

It's not that we are tense, but mods usually redirect everyone with hardware questions to this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64576-can-i-run-it-ask-here/

Is this happening on every server regardless of the place? Some servers have too many vehicles and this causes a big frame rate drop.

You might also be having heating problems etc.

A decent 3Gb quad-core, 4+Gb RAM and a 560Ti is what I always recommend as the minimum requirements for a 'smooth' DayZ experience so you're pretty much spot on.

I'd try disabling antialiasing, ATOC, PPAA and post-process effects and set everything else to normal. It should run fine.

As above - if you have any more questions please use the Can I Run It? topic...
